Apoballis lavallaei 'Purple Sword'

This plant is distinguished by its spectacular, lanceolate foliage, reminiscent of a sword. Its leaves display a marbled pattern of dark green and silver on the upper surface, while their undersides reveal a deep, vibrant purple that creates a striking chromatic contrast as soon as the plant catches the light.

• Light: Bright and indirect. It appreciates a subdued light that preserves the intensity of the silver patterns and the color of the reverse.

• Watering: Moderate; keep the substrate slightly moist but not soggy. Allow the surface of the soil to dry out between waterings.

• Humidity: Tolerates normal ambient humidity , although it prefers a stable and slightly humid atmosphere.
